"PENISES grown in laboratories could soon be ready for human testing after “encouraging” studies on rabbits, in a breakthrough for men with congenital abnormalities or traumatic injuries.
Researchers at North Carolina’s Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine are assessing engineered penises for safety, function and durability, and hope to get approval for human testing within five years.
The organ would be grown using a patient’s own cells to minimise the risk of rejection.
Professor Anthony Atala oversaw the institute’s successful engineering of penises for rabbits in 2008 and said human organ transplantation was on the horizon."

Medical science is pretty awesome.
 
Then as I walked down Second Avenue toward St. Mark's Place, where all those people sell used books and other junk on the street I saw my penis lying on a blanket next to a broken toaster oven, some guy was selling it. I had to buy it off him. He wanted 22 bucks but I talked him down to 17, I took it home, washed it off and put it back on.

haha, this is the first thing I thought of.
 
I knew there was some work going on to regenerate foreskins in a similar method but entire penises is pretty surprising to hear.
